When the The fishing boat docked, bringing fish to the market, immediately the whole market became noisy with the sounds of calling to each other, the sound of the ice grinder engine running loudly, the sound of aluminum tubs full of fish being pulled by people. walking loudly, the sound of empty pots being quickly thrown onto the market floor, …
I was curious and asked the fish sellers about… the pot to store the batch The fish that two new customers carried away, she laughed: “The pot has the owner’s name written on it, so they take it away and then return it to the pot later.” Looking around, the fish bowls all have their owner’s name written clearly in paint. The scales are also marked with unique symbols to distinguish the owners and are placed in plastic baskets to move around the market for mobility. And even sea water cans are painted with such symbols.
In the market there are a few stalls selling food and drinks to market goers, but every time the fish comes to the market, everyone flocks to the market. rushing towards the fishing poles full of fish being poured into the deserted food and drink stalls.
In addition to the fish traders at Phuoc Hai market, there is also a force of women sitting diligently. fish fillet. The hands quickly and skillfully cut the fish boning knife as the fillets were thrown into the basin. They move quickly with their hands almost without looking and of course the story keeps them busy while they work.
After about 1 hour of excitement, the fish that just arrived at the market has been “processed” by the women. These people huddled together to chat, waiting for the new batch of fish to arrive. Some people only had time to rush into a food stall to quickly eat a bowl of vermicelli and drink a glass of water.
